Two things -

(1) To configure your internet settings follow the instructions here:

http://community.48months.ie/t5/Need-Help/Internet/m-p/34493#M12560

(2) iPhones can need activation on some networks due to the stupid way that Apple does things. This process automatically sends a UK SMS which on 48 costs 25c so you need some cash credit on your account for this to work. The process should happen automatically after a while once you have cash credit for that message and you switch the phone off and on again. In some cases it may required a sync with iTunes. Unfortunately Apple make things even more complicated by not clearly documenting this process and what to do in what circumstances.

Hope this helps.

You need to also try what I suggested in point #2 above.

This is an issue with iPhones due to the stupid way that Apple do things.

Hope this helps.
